I use Gentoo Linux and so copied its gdm-autologin file to /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin to see if it fixed the problem.

lightdm-1.0.0 allowed me to login via the GTK greeter once. After exiting the window manager (openbox) the GTK greeter did not re-appear and I had to ctrl-alt-del to reboot the machine. I don't know whether this is a new bug or whether it is related to the autologin file. Reverting to 0.9.8 fixed everything.

Gentoo users can find its gdm-autologin file here:
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/gdm-2.20.9-gentoo-files-r1.tar.bz2
(or alternatively fetch the gnome-base/gdm files via portage)
